I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport.

Art, to me, is the interpretation of the impression which nature makes upon the eye and brain.

It's kind of an art, going out and performing. I'd like fans to remember me as a guy who would go out and entertain them, give them quality matches, and not just the same old garbage every week.

I took courses at USC in film editing and art direction and photography when I was still in high school.

That was the impetus for me to do music or art, because I knew if I didn't try when I was young, then I would get to be in my 40's and I'd be really unhappy that I hadn't.

The art of living consists in knowing which impulses to obey and which must be made to obey.

Pollock said several times that he couldn't separate himself from his art. Not knowing much about modern art when I began to read about him, I was much more his persona - his struggles as a human being - that was interesting to me.

I don't think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.

Poetry is emotion put into measure. The emotion must come by nature, but the measure can be acquired by art.

I am interested in mathematics only as a creative art.

An art aims, above all, at producing something beautiful which affects not our feelings but the organ of pure contemplation, our imagination.

Art revolves around creating something that isn't there.

You've got to appreciate the things that come from the art of the Negro and from the heart of the man farthest down.

The art of publicity is a black art; but it has come to stay, and every year adds to its potency.
